Oregon Draft Tracker: An updated list of where Pro Ducks were drafted or signed
While a lot of Oregon Duck fans are focused on the annual spring game taking place on Saturday, one of the most notable events of the year in the world of football is also taking place with the 2023 NFL Draft.
We’ve already seen a big success for the Ducks early on, with cornerback Christian Gonzalez being selected by the New England Patriots with the No. 17 pick on Thursday night. Oregon edge rusher DJ Johnson kept things rolling on Friday when the Carolina Panthers selected him in the third round.
There are still a number of players waiting to get the call from an NFL team this weekend, though, and the anxiety starts to ramp up as the draft comes to a close on Saturday night.
Of course, if players don’t get drafted, though, there are opportunities for them to sign as undrafted free agents, and work out for a team trying to make the roster or practice squad this summer.
We wanted to keep track of where all of the former Ducks have gone or are going this spring, and where they will play at the next level. Here’s an updated list of who is going where so far:
